Susanna Gibson, a former candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates, has spoken out about explicit videos of her and her husband that surfaced online before her election loss. Gibson, a Democrat, nurse and mother of two, claims she is the victim of an invasion of privacy by Republican operatives.
The videos, which were archived on a site called Chaturbate in September 2022, featured Gibson and her husband engaging in sexual acts for advice. The videos went viral online after Gibson officially entered the delegate race. Gibson insists that the distribution of these videos was an illegal invasion of her privacy designed to humiliate her and her family. Despite the controversy, he remained in the race until his defeat.
In a recent interview, Gibson claimed that he was the victim of a media hit and an illegal video distribution scheme. She expressed being blindsided by the discovery of the videos on the Internet, stating that she had no idea that these videos had been made and uploaded to various sites.
Gibson argues that the distribution of content initially made in a consensual context, but then distributed in a non-consensual manner, is a crime. He further opined that there is a significant difference between choosing to share content online with selected individuals and consenting to that content being recorded and widely disseminated.
Gibson also expressed his belief that what people do in their private lives, if it is legal and consensual, should have no bearing on their ability to do their job. He argued that it is unethical to make people's private lives, especially their sexual private lives, public and part of how we think about them and their ability to do their jobs and contribute positively to their communities.
Finally, Gibson warned that other women will soon face the same kind of scrutiny, citing a 2014 study that suggested 90 percent of millennial women have taken nude photos at some point. She believes this will continue to happen as millennials age to run for office.
